Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • iamkingkatana katana (@iamkingkatana) reported

    in my overwatch days the term "its a smurf" never really held weight but on Valorant that's like a make or break for the match. It's such an issue sometimes

  • thatoneguyred Red (@thatoneguyred) reported

    I accidentally got sucked back into Overwatch and has become a problem, holy **** I forgot how fun this game can be

  • realJohnSpartan Moa Burger (@realJohnSpartan) reported

    @PirateJagger Truth. Halo just needs a PC pool and a console pool like Overwatch, it's really not a difficult problem for them to solve.

  • OmegaDez Dez 🇨🇦 (@OmegaDez) reported

    @MurmurLilies I think the problem stems from seeing really amazing stuff appear in those artbooks, so you go like "why was that thing cut?" Like the black Karate guy in Street Fighter IV or the cyborg spider lady in Overwatch. They looked so much cooler than half of the stuff they kept IMHO.

  • KoalaSciences Prof. Koala Sciences (@KoalaSciences) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN hi Blizzard. I can't connect to my Sony account on Overwatch. It says error lc-202. I already tried all the suggested solutions. Halp.

  • FooseTV Christopher Foose (@FooseTV) reported

    @videogamedeals Crazy to think that if the Microsoft purchase of Activision/Blizzard goes through these and all the other Sierra games will be a Microsoft IP. It gets overlooked compared to CoD, Warcraft, Star Craft, Overwatch, Crash and Spyro

  • froonding_loom Reggie Toupée (@froonding_loom) reported

    The Diversity Space Tool is not the solution, but acting like Overwatch doesn't have a problem is laughable.

  • CKris46 ChrisKris46 (@CKris46) reported

    @Ekuinokkusu @OWLczz @Apply I think the major issue is the controversies that took place in blizzard causing alot of the delays especially the Activision manager. Not to mention I can't remember too well but i faintly recall a dev saying they were told not to work on overwatch. Due to management.

    @nrnmarie a kindred; the only reason why I care about this issue so much is that I, like a bunch of others, am literally seeing this happen firsthand (ie his overwatch collab with selen, suha's POV for the recent big OW collab, ike's POV for the labyrinthine collab). And while Vox may be

  • nabalazs Balázs (@nabalazs) reported

    I know I already tweeted about it, but it's so unbelievable to me how many times I'm hitting cpu limits in games nowdays. Overwatch 2 beta had me at 120fps lowest settings, and about 90 fps with lag spikes at max settings. I ended up settling for lowest settings 150% render scale
